2019 Emiliana Signos de Origen Cabernet Sauvignon
Ruby-red in color with a cherry border. The nose shows notes of black fruit like blueberry and cherry as well as notes of dark chocolate and cedar. The palate shows a juicy wine with good volume and a long finish.
The first stage of reception included a selection system via a conveyor belt to remove any leaves and damaged bunches, etc.
The bunches were then transported by another conveyor belt to a machine to be destemmed and selected by size before passing on to a vibrating table to ensure that only perfect grapes were selected.
The individual grapes were then dropped into the fermentation tanks where they underwent a 5-day pre-fermentation cold maceration at 8 C. Alcoholic fermentation took place solely with native yeasts in stainless steel at temperatures that varied between 24 and 26 C with a program of pumpovers or WINE OF CHILE punchdowns in accordance with enological criteria, followed by a post-fermentation maceration.
Total maceration time was 20 days. Malolactic fermentation took place naturally in barrels and ovoid tanks. The new wine was aged for 13 months and finally stabilized naturally, without treatments. It was lightly filtered with a 3-5-micron filter prior to bottling.
